Hi guys, so I've started to code my first plugin for autopsy or almost. After some head bumps against Netbeans and its configuration (thank you for the newbie guide) I guess I've set up all my environment.

To start with my project, I'd like to modify a little bit the Autopsy's main screen to be more like Encase/FTK. For instance, I'd like to see SHA1 hash and not only the MD5 in it.

How should I start with it? Will I need to recompile again all Autopsy or can I do it with a plugin?
